What is Icons 2?
Icons 2 is a second version of Icons, a prank program designed to move the desktop icons around on the user's wallpaper. Instead of repeatedly changing the pattern that the icons follow, the icons will interact with the mouse, constantly avoiding wherever the mouse is.

How do I use this program?
Download icons_2.zip and extract the contents anywhere on your computer. It's recommended that you extract to "C:\Program Files\Icons" and create a shortcut wherever you want, but it's up to you. Alternatively, you could put this program on a flash drive and run it from there.

After you extract the zipped folder, right click on your desktop and go to "View" -> "Align icons to grid." Make sure this is unchecked.
Now you can run the program! Double click Icons 2.exe and watch your icons avoid your mouse. To stop the program, start Task Manager by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and end the process called "Icons 2.exe" in the Processes tab. For a good prank, place this program in the startup folder (Start->Startup) of someone's computer. Note: If Icons does nothing when you run it, the process will still be running, but it's probably not working because you have set your wallpaper to change automatically. Unfortunately, Icons cannot work while this feature is in use. Set your wallpaper to only one image, restart your computer, and run Icons again. |
